While I understand its an "exploit" as such, people want you to scan something, whats actually wrong with going somewhere, scanning what they all want you to scan, and then selling them all copies of the data?

Anyone having trouble tonight? My game's locked on a jump to hyperspace - sounds are there, but no ship response to joystick.

Just an update if anyone has the same problem...

This issue is caused because the game thinks you have landed, even though you are in space. To solve it, press the 'thrusters up' key for a few seconds as though you are taking off. The ship should now respond.

Well yes, but what I mean is you should have to get back to the relevant station after the scan to collect, so you have to survive....
And yes, self destruct is perfectly legit, but the game should make certain allowances when its being exploited in this fashion.

How the hell do you fly your ship down to a planet surface to specific coordinates? Like barnacles?
Stuggling abit with this....were is R2 when you need him...R2 were are you

Fly around close enough to the planet that you can stop engines & it'll still move you around, at a slow enough speed you can watch coords with ease.
It is annoying, but get used to it.
Then it's a case of shifting which way you're pointing.

Or, you can find someone that's been to the one you're trying to get at & get them to wing up. They can head right towards the thing you want to see, as it's saved in their system.

Don't forget to scan the main part, so that you can return with ease any other time.

Thanks for that!
So if you scan do barnicles it show up next time on on scanner?
Looking for Meta Alloys as thought id engineer up the ASP. First time engineering, all i did in the early Alpha days of this game i just made tons of credits and then took a break just as Horizons come out. Thats why im asking nOOblet questions that have already been asked long ago.

Retaliation? Is that the retaliation the Thargoids did after humans fired at it?
Must be, because I've only seen one ship attacked by Thargoid, rumoured at that, on dev stream.
Hmm, so I've got less than two weeks to get to witness a Thargoid before the new patch drops eh?
